Payments can be made by credit card, cheque drawn on a London bank or by bank transfer in GBP Sterling. Deposit and fees are not transferable or refundable..

Course participants are able to nominate their own Local Tutor. Once approved, Local Tutors will then receive appropriate training. For an additional fee the British Council or International House may be able to provide a Local Tutor for you. Please contact your nearest IH or BC centre for more information.
